George was attached to a lie detector machine for a taping of ‘Casey Anthony’s Parents: The Lie Detector Test’ when he became very emotional upon being asked questions regarding his deceased grandchild.

George Olivo, a former FBI examiner, posed a query to the grandfather: “Had you any idea as to where Caylee was located?”

George’s voice seemed to waver as he replied, “No, I had no idea of her whereabouts.”

As part of the program, Mr. Anthony consented to taking a polygraph test to answer inquiries concerning his granddaughter Caylee’s alleged murder.

This Thursday, viewers of A&E and Lifetime will witness George Anthony on a documentary special where he consented to a lie detector test in order to respond to queries about the mysterious death of his granddaughter, Caylee.

In 2008, the case of Casey Anthony holding her daughter, Caylee, was widely reported across the nation.

The young mother was accused of killing her baby girl, making it a highly publicized case.

Cindy, George’s wife of 42 years, observed from another room as he was extensively interrogated about the demise of his granddaughter and the alleged sexual abuse his daughter had attributed to him.

  via Getty  

While George was being examined, Cindy, his spouse of 42 years, waited in a separate area as he was asked repeatedly regarding the passing of his granddaughter and the allegations of sexual misconduct which his daughter attributed to him.

  via Getty  

The investigator previously held a pre-examination interview with George, and during this time, inquired whether or not he had committed any sexual misconduct against his daughter, Casey.

In order to administer a polygraph test, it is necessary to do a pre-test first to evaluate if the individual is appropriate for the procedure, as Olivo outlined.

  via Getty  

He began by inquiring of George: “You labeled yourself as a 10 on the personal veracity scale, and that was true, correct?”

  via Getty  

The father and grandfather paused briefly then uttered an apology: “It’s true, I apologize, I’m sorry.”

  via Getty  

Cindy, who had been married to George for 42 years, observed his testing from another room.

  via Getty  

George answered affirmatively when he was questioned if he had always been at the highest level on the sexual integrity scale, whereas Cindy said no.

  via Getty  

Cindy commented in a preview of the documentary that when a couple is apart, it apparently does not count.

  via Getty  

The conversation then shifted to George’s granddaughter’s untimely demise, as he stammered and became visibly distressed.

  via Getty  

As Olivo continued to query if the father and grandpa were aware of the whereabouts of Caylee’s body, he observed George was ‘experiencing difficulty’ and inquired why.

  via Getty  

George voiced that it could be due to the proximity of his home to the place where the woman was discovered.

  via Getty  

George, the grandfather, became emotional when the polygraph examiner posed the question of whether he had knowledge of his granddaughter’s body’s whereabouts. Despite this, he adamantly claimed he had no such information.

As the polygraph tester posed the question to George regarding his granddaughter’s corpse, the elderly man became emotional and insisted he had no knowledge of the location.

In the summer of 2008, the two-year-old Caylee Anthony was not reported as missing for 31 days. Her skeleton was eventually discovered in the same year in December.

In June of 2008, the two-year-old Caylee Anthony vanished and her mother failed to report it for 31 days. Eventually, her bones were unearthed in December of that same year.

  via Getty  

As he was further impacted by the queries, he stated that he began to “envision the woods.”

  via Getty  

When her body was located in the forest, all that could be heard was an apology – a sorrowful expression of regret.

  via Getty  

Casey, his daughter, became notorious after being acquitted of the killing of her two-year-old daughter Caylee during a widely publicised trial, during which she was considered to be the most detested woman in the United States.

Mere days after her daughter had gone missing and was eventually discovered dead, Casey was reportedly observed at a party.

  via Getty  

She has never admitted to taking the life of her daughter, who vanished in June 2008, even though canine units trained to detect cadaveric material found evidence in her vehicle, and Caylee’s bones were found in the vicinity of the family’s home in Orlando.

  via Getty  

In December, police officers and a great number of volunteers searched Orange County and the wider Orlando region for the kid, and her remains were eventually discovered.

  via Getty  

A month after Caylee vanished, it was on July 15, 2008 that Casey finally informed the police that she was missing. 

  via Getty  

It was Cindy, Casey’s mother, who was the one to alert the authorities about the disappearance.

  via Getty  

George and Cindy had not laid eyes on Casey or Caylee for a month, and then they encountered Casey’s car at a tow-yard, with George indicating he was overwhelmed by its smell. 

  via Getty  

When speaking to the dispatcher in her 911 call, Cindy exclaimed: “Caylee is gone. The odour in the vehicle is like that of a deceased person.”

  via Getty  

Casey reported to law enforcement that she had entrusted her daughter to the care of a babysitter, Zenaida Gonzales Fernandez, who was now unaccounted for.

  via Getty  

On July 16, 2008, Casey Anthony was arrested and taken to Orange County Jail, where she was questioned.

  via Getty  

Evidence of human remains was discovered in the trunk of Casey’s car by cadaver dogs, however, she was cleared of any murder charges.

The search by cadaver dogs of Casey’s vehicle revealed human remains, yet she was still found not guilty of murder.
